Vick replied, "Yes, sir."

He acknowledged that he used what he called "poor judgment" and said he was willing to deal with the consequences and accept responsibility for his actions.

Falcons owner Arthur Blank called the sentencing "another step in his legal journey." He says he hopes Vick will use the time to focus his efforts on making positive changes in his life and says he wishes him well in that regard."
